Building 5 is the latest building in Business Park Sofia – the biggest private real estate project in Bulgaria.
Despite its small size compared to the neighboring buildings, Building 5 is recognized as the most remarkable building in the Park. The main reason for that is its architectural appearance.
It is situated in the middle of the Park, between an older office building and a multistory car parking. The height of the building is rising smoothly corresponding to the height of the neighbor buildings.
The facade facing the park is curved in plan. It is inspired by the aim of the architects to slower down the walking speed of the pedestrians who are passing by the building, just like it is happens with the river flow at the meanders, and to encourage them to enjoy more the green space around and the amenities in the building.
On the opposite side, the facade facing the street is an orthogonal and corresponds to the style of the previous buildings in the Park.
The curved facade has special designed horizontal elements, made of stainless steel, which are hiding the operable external louvers.
Five sets of a specially designed art installation made of twisted vertical bands of anodized aluminum are incorporated in the curved facade and the interior of entrance lobbies.
The designed by A&A Architects art installation brings additional dynamic of the architecture. It changes constantly the appearance of the facade, by reflecting the light and depending on the weather conditions. The architects consider it as a contemporary attempt for the classic integration between art and architecture.
